Logan village was last Monday
evening, re-organized, by the elec-
tion of Col. Weldy as President, o.
w. II. Wright, Clerk and David A.
Miller, Treasurer.
We received a pleasant call
from Col. John A. Elder, of Lans-
ing, Mich, Special examiner Of the
Pension Department. He has
been taking testimony in 81 num-
ber of cases in this locality.
Capt. VIM. Roby, of Circleville
was a Logan visitor Saturday last.
The Capt. looks well, but "Silver
threads among the Gold" remind
us that a quarter of o century has
flown since we were boys together.
The heavy rain on Monday
raised the river to its full capacity
and in several places the banks of
the canal were threatened with de-
struction, but the energy and skill
of Superintendent Miller and aids
prevented any material damage.
Andrew Keplar, one of the old
pioneer residents of Falls Tp., died
last Sunday aged about 81 years.
His disease was cancer, with
which he had been afflicted for
many years, and for the last year
or two, confined to his house. He
was a sterling Democrat, and an
upright, honsst citizen.
The city fathers should re-
quire the people of the town to
cease throwing slops and refuse
from kitchens into the alleys, and
in order to prevent such practices,
they should be required to be de-
posted in some convenient place
and engage some one to convey
such waste outside the city limits.
AT the last two examinations
there were sixty-six applicants of
whom the following were success
full:
G.. V. McBroom, for three years;
Amanda Gordon, Jno. f. Harsh,
w. f. Romel, A. G. Woods, and
VIM. Walter for two years
Minnie Arnold, Sam Blum, James

Stedem, Chas NJ. Simms, Rose
White, John Williams, ]. w
White, and A. j. White for ono
year.
The Board of Education Of
Starr Tp., are about to build a new
school-house in sub-district No. s
The old one is dilapidated and un
fit for occupancy, besides being 10
Gated at an inconvient distance
from the centre of said sub-dis
trict both geographicly and in re
gard to population. A petition
headed by James A. Dean and L
w. Wolf is in circulation, praying
the Board to locate the new build
ing as near the center of the sub
district as suitable location Cal
be obtained. OF course we do no
know all the circumstances, but i
would seem that the prayer of thu
petitioners is reasonable and ought
to be conceded.
The number of papers publish
ed in the United States, Territories
Gncluding AlaskW and Canada i:
put at Is, ,42O; an increase of 5Sl il
one year, The growth of newspa
pers in some of the Western States
would be matter of wonder, if i
were not that this year is no eXcep
tion to the rule. In Kansas the in
crease is 80 and in Nebraska Ga
while the keystone State shows {
smaller advance of 35, and the
Buckeye State of 80. Pennsylva
mia exhibits the largest increase in
dailies, II; Kansas in weeklies, 81
and New York in monthlies ~
Seven states show decrease: thu
most prominent instances being
New Hampshire and Virginia, sil
each.
